Just another brief note. The pictures don't really do justice. The thread is a multi strand and the white is laced with at least 3 strands of an irridescent thread so it really glitters in the light. Also the small round circles in top of motif i did in pure silver just to add a differnet twist. I do not have the peals or irridecent sequins on yet will do that all at one time when embroidery is complete. Sure is a differnet thing to buy premade motifs and just glue them on. Any questions on thread or stitches, just ask. I tried every different kind i could find, ciuching didn't work back stitch didn't work. None of these could be pulled tight enough to hold so I ended up just doing small running stitches like quilting and tying small knots on back when done. Will glue sequin or pearl over those on top when finished.
